{"product_id":"wooden-house-plants-large-pansy","title":"Wooden House Plants - Large Pansy","description":"\u003cp\u003eA pot of pansies in watercolour colour, cut from mango wood and finished in glossy enamel: lilac, yellow, soft pink and deep violet blooms above fresh green leaves. It stands as a small, flat-fronted still life, a piece of spring that doesn't wait for the season, made for a mantelpiece, window ledge or spacious shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWhat you'll notice\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe pansies carry the picture: yellow ones with dark centres, lilac and violet ones, a blush-pink bloom, and a few that trail over the edge of the pot.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe pot is painted in washes of indigo, lavender and peach, so it looks soft and slightly misty rather than sharply drawn.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe enamel gives the printed surface a glossy, almost glass-like sheen that catches window light.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe outline follows the flowers and leaves, so the edge is scalloped and organic rather than a plain rectangle.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIt needs no watering, no light and no care for the plant, only a place where you will see it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eMango wood and enamel\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body is mango wood, and you can see its warm honey-brown edge all the way around, with a ripple in the cut that echoes the shapes of petals and leaves. Wood and enamel work well together here: the grain's warmth frames the cool, bright colour of the front. Because it is natural wood, the tone of the edge will vary a little from piece to piece.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eStyling and placement\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe broad silhouette makes it a natural centrepiece. Set it on a mantelpiece among candles, on a windowsill where the enamel can catch daylight, or on a spacious shelf with books and a few small objects around it. It sits well beside real plants and reads as an extra pot in the family, one that stays in bloom all year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePansies have long carried a gentle meaning in the Victorian language of flowers, where they stood for thoughtfulness and remembrance. That makes this a quiet, fitting piece for a room, or for someone you are thinking of.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth to keep the enamel glossy. Keep it away from standing water or prolonged damp, as with any wooden piece, and place it indoors on a dry surface.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this a real plant?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nNo. It is a decorative piece made of mango wood with an enamel finish, so there is nothing to water or keep alive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill every piece look identical?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nVery close, but the wood is natural, so the shade and grain along the edge can differ slightly from one piece to the next.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere does it work best?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAnywhere it can be seen from the front: a mantelpiece, window ledge or spacious shelf, where its broad shape has room to stand out.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SHAMTAM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67941981978938,"sku":"WHP-03","price":23.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0756\/8307\/0266\/files\/wooden-house-plants-large-pansy-cover.png?v=1794144751","url":"https:\/\/shamtam.com\/products\/wooden-house-plants-large-pansy","provider":"SHAMTAM","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
